On my Suse 10.2 laptop, I am having problems with the gnome-keyring too. Works sometimes, sometimes not. Sometimes with Evo, but also with network manager.
I have noticed that it cannot seem to consistently add new keys. Also I noticed the the GNOME_KEYRING_PID environmental variable is not getting created. The GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET variable is. (Gnome-keyring-daemon is running.) These variables are supposed to be created by pam_keyring according to the man page on same. That is as far as I can get. Suggestions gratefully received.
